Review content:
Our family does not eat out very often, since we tend to eat organic food as much as possible (probably at least 95%). Buying organic is a bit more expensive, so reducing the number of times we go to restaurants evens out the total monthly expenditures for food. When we do pick a restaurant, it is almost always L'Thai (if you don't eat out often, you want to make it count!). If you prefer to eat healthy food, this is definitely the place to go on the east side of the Metro Atlanta area. We tend to eat here at least every other week, and I have NEVER been disappointed with my food. My favorite dish is the Prix-Khing (either beef or chicken), which is served with grass-fed beef or free-range chicken (you can get organic for a slightly higher price), organic green beans, and your choice of white rice or organic brown rice.\r

The menu lists four different levels of heat for spicy entrees, mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot. If you really like spicy food, you need to know that you can order even hotter than what is listed. Thai hot is shown as four peppers. I have most recently tried five peppers, and will go to six on my next visit.\r

The ambiance is soothing, the food is wonderful, the staff is courteous and professional, and the owner is very knowledgeable about organic food. it is too bad that the available ratings only go from zero to ten - this place is off the scale on the high end - at least a 12! Almost without exception, people whom we have introduced to L'Thai continue to return for more.\r

As for the earlier entry about pushing the wine, we have never had that experience, and nobody in our family consumes any alcohol. The recommended wines are listed on the menu, but we usually drink water with meals (and this restaurant's tap water is filtered prior to serving).
Pros: taste, ambiance, wait staff, organic cuisine, very reasonable prices
